Which chain is the same, the upper, or lower? I've got a 2002, but haven't
had it apart yet - however, my haynes manual shows a  large gear (36 teeth)
on the camshaft that is driven via the chain by a small gear on the crank (I
would imagine 18 teeth, but can't tell from the diagrams). I think you U20
owners are out of luck... :-(
